Happy Birthday Laura!

The Stampendous Design Teams are hollering out a grand Happy Birthday to Laura Mann Weed today! She's the teams navigator and director, among other official hats at Stampendous! Here's a warm and bright card (since it's so cold in Idaho right now) for Laura's birthday.
I hope you have a terrific day!

My tree is colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS (odorless mineral spirits). I was in a panic yesterday because I had already started coloring on it when I realized I misplaced my tortillons (paper stumps) to blend with OMS. I found one hidden in the bottom of a draw, thank goodness! I added some highlights with Copic's Opaque White acrylic and a wooden skewer.

Most of the time I don't know which kind of card to send, so here's another one just in case!


These candles are aflame with Silver Halo Glitter-covered acetate. I punched out a 5-petal flower and embossed with clear powder to get the glitter to stay put and then cut into the center of the flower between each petal to get my flames. 

Melinda is starting it off and after you've stopped here, jump on over to Taylor's blog.


Here's the master hop list if you need it!
